Eggs Cheaper Than Beef.

1t would be wise if people in general
would substitute more eggs IN the
place of meat in their daily diet than
they do, for it would be not only
more palatable but, if anything,
cheaper than beef, taking it pound for
pound. For instance in the summer,
when eggs are worth ten to twelve
cents dozen, and beef is worth ten
to twelve cents per pound,it is easily
seen that in weight surely the eggs are
the cheapest, for one dozen of ordi.
nary sized eggs will weigh at least
pound and half, which at ten cents
per dozen would be six and tN O. thirds
cents per pound against ten to twelve
for beef OF course in winter it is DIFF
ferent, but even then there is not
much difference, and it would be
much better for all concerned If
the eggs were used more uni
versally. A boiled egg is a very
clean, delicious morsel, and is useful
as a brain nourishing food, because
of the amount OF phosphorousit con-
tains. To be sure eggs are valuable
and very handy for the farmer to
take to town and sell for cash or
trade for provisions, but he should
never stint his own supply, and it
would be much better If fhewould use all
he needs at home, instead of paying a
higher price for less nutritious
meat.

Mrs. Cleveland Has Had q Good

"Well, I have had a whirl Of it this

friends recently, referring to thegaye-
ties of society, "but l have lad the

en- been told by a customer that he
had never tasted finer brandy, when
he was drinking q very ordinary
whisky. There are few people who
can distinguish between high and low
priced wines. I remember nearly
splitting my sides once laughing at a
man who was ordering champagne
He was drinking Werner's American
extra-dry, and told his friend how
he once drank it with M. Wer-
ner in Paris. He thought it
was the highest priced French
wine, until he found out it was cost
ing him only a dollar a bottle; then
he wilted. Even manufacturers are
sold. Once at convention of the
beer brewers of the country l heard
brewer boast that he could name any
kind Of beer with his eyes blinded. We
tried him, and when the handkerchief
was over his eyes we gave him nine
sips out of the same glass and heard
him name nine different brands.
That was very good sport. AS a
matter Of fact, this telling liquors by
the taste is very delicate business.
By modern processes distillers can age
liquor so as to fool even the old timers.
The worst case ever struck was a
fisherman who rOWed me down the
river last summer. offered him
swig out OF a bottle containing very
fine article of whisky. He returned it
saying it was poor stuff. I handed
him bottle containing some 'rot-gut'
used to clean my gun. He took a
long pull, and said it was as good Ii

Too Much Sweeping.

The advisability OF giving every
apartment a vigorous "broom clean
ing" at least once a week has been so
strenuously insisted upon by some
notable housekeepers that it has been
by many converted into an imper-
ative duty. But looking at the mat
ter in an unprecedented light, one can
not see why a drawing room, inhabit-
ed perhaps only few hours of the
afternoon and evening, or an unoccu-
pied guest chamber, should require
the same amount of publication de-
manded by a sewing, sitting, or dim
ing room. The dust pan and brush
are labor saving machines that do
not receive due appreciation. By
their aid in removing a little dust
here and a little there the business of
sweeping a whole room may be de-
ferred at times, when at the first
glance anything less than acomplete
routing of furniture and dirt would
seem impossible-Marion Harland.

Management Of . Young Bull.

A young bull should be kept under
the strictest restraint. Such an ami
NAL is never safe unless kept in COM
plete subjection. A regular use OF u
rawhide-on principle-and not mere
ly as punishment Tor i'll conduct is the
only safeguard. SO as to keep the ami
NAL always in dread OF its owner.
Constant work is another mode of
disciplining bull, and not only
keeps him orderly but in good
useful condition for service. Only
moderately robust condition is nee
essary; leanness is better than fat,
which soon destroys the breeding val
ue. A ring should be put in the bull 8
nose when it is three months old, and
it should be handled at all times with
the greatest caution, and at no time
should it be played with or petted.
Even in play a bull is a fatally danger
Gus animal, and as bad as when in
anger.

"Breakfast Bacon"

This is simply bacon used for break
fast, for which it is popular as a size
or extra dish on public tables. The
best is from pigs weighing about 100
pounds when dressed. A good coat
Of lean meat should be left along the
back. and the pigs should be OF a breed
which has plenty of lean in them and
which has been grown to develop it.
One of the best breeds for bacon and
hams is the Duroc-Jersey. Only the
sides are used and these should be cut
lengthwise, in strips about six inches
wide, or wider, to get even cuts from
the sides. For 100 pounds of meat
use six pounds salt, four ounces salt
petre and five pounds brown sugar,
which should be mixed together and
the meat rubbed with it and piled
with the flesh sides up. Every three
days it should be rubbed until the
mixture is all absorbed in the meat.
1t is then ready to smoke. The smoke
should be from hard maple, hickory,
birch or corncobs, and be kept up un-
til the meat is a delicate brown color
The meat may be packed in pickle
OF the same proportions and be sub
merged in it tor six weeks and then
smoked. For large bacon that is
to be kept through the summer,
one pound more OF salt may be
added. 1t is best to cure this in
the brine. Each piece of bacon should
be sewed up in d cotton cloth if sent
to distance; but if sold near home
this Is not necessary. Fancy packers
of bacon dip the cloths in mixture OF
ochre to make them tight. The bacon
pieces should be Of about equal weight
and the weight be marked on the out
side. All this does not make the ba-
con any better, but it pleases the eye
of the people who buy for looks-and
they are the larger number-N. Y.

How 70 Take Foot Baths.

The best time to take a foot bath is
not at night, but in the middle Of tho
forenoon, when the vitality is at its
highest point. After immerslng the
feet for a.time in hot water, lift them
out Of the bath and dash dipper or
two OF cold water over them, and rub
briskly till dry. By this sudden ap-
plication OF cold water you have
closed the pores and left the skin in a
tonic condition; you have also sent
the blood from the surface with such
force that it must of necessity, in fol-
lowing the law OF reaction, return
with force, thus tending to make the
eet ultimately warmer. When thor
,oughly dry draw on pair of clean,
we'll warmed hose, put on your boots
and you are ready for walk or ride
without taking cold.
Rubbing the feet with a little sweet
oil before putting on the stockings is a
still further preventative of cold.-De-

A foreign lady was here the other

in a soul-scarifying costume, monarch

THAT'S all you know about it, :
growled Richard, as he helped Bessie
into the buggy; and thereupon jules
quick wit revealed to her various
things.
They drove first to Mrs. Aliens
where Bessie related her performance
with the collarette, and then Julie,
looking down the street, suddenly ex.

Bessie took the reins, and Richard,
leaning back in his seat with an air Of
Indifference, was driven into the pref
ty garden where Dolly, standing upon
ladder, was tying up honeysuckles.
Richard only raised his hat slightly
when Dolly turned and viewed this
very unexpected trio, but Julie ex,
claimed:

that all Sunnydale has gone mad, ex-

with a piece of my fringe hanging to

word OF it till this morning, and now

Dolly's face glowed and dimpled as
she looked at Julie.
"Bessie had good deal to answer
for she said, trying to appear joking
but the deepening blush told Richard
exactly what she meant, and the
change in his looks, voice and manner

How to Keep the Hands Soft.

From the Analyst
A little ammonia or borax in the
water you wash your hands with, and
that water just lukewarm, will keep
the skin clean and soft. A little oat,
meal mixed with the water will whlten
the hands. Many people use glycerine
on their hands when they 60 to bed,
wearing gloves to keep the bedding
clean; but glycerine makes some skins
harsh and red. These people
should rub their hands with
dry oatmeal, and wear gloves in bed.
The best preparation for the hands
at night is white of egg, with a grain
Of alum dissolved in it. Roman toi-
let paste is merely white OF egg. bar
ley -four, and honey. They say it was
used by the Romans in olden times.
Any way, it is frst-fate thing; but
it is mean, sticky stuff to use, and
does not do the work any better than
oatmeal. The roughest and hardest
hands can be made soft and white in

need are q nail brush, bottle of am
